Tri-Cities Meetings: Unless noted otherwise, meetings are held in Room 117 in the SWL building at CBC. The program starts at 7:00 PM. At 6:30 PM, we have an informal plant identification and get together. Bring a mystery plant (non-ornamental) if you like and we will attempt to identify it for you.

Field Trips: Bring water, appropriate layers of clothing, hat, sunscreen, walking sticks, guidebooks, camera, and a snack/lunch for all day trips. If you opt to carpool, riders should contribute money for gas. Please notify the contact person of your intention to participate. These trips may fill up fast . Please pre- register. Some of our away trips have limited parking. Unless noted otherwise, Blue Mountain trips begin at Harper Joy parking lot on Whitman campus in Walla Walla for carpooling. Arrangements may also be made to meet you on the way.

Jump Off Joe is one of the Tri-Cities best-kept secrets, but we’re going to let you in on it. This walk is short: a few feet from the parking lot and you will be knee deep in white, pink and purple lupine as well as magenta penstemons. This is a good place to see snow berry bushes in bloom and at 2,216 feet, Jump Off Joe is one of the highest accessible buttes in our area. Dress appropriate for the weather, (wind) bring snacks, and don’t forget your cameras. Meet at 10:00 a.m. the Kennewick Fred Meyers parking lot next to Fred Meyer Fuel.
